CVG: New screens from SimCity Societies CVG: A new construction set of SimCity Societies screenshots has been accompanied by some literally educational news concerning the game. EA, ya see, has teamed up with BP to educate y'all on climate change. "The low-carbon electricity choices and monitoring of SimCity's carbon emissions provide an entertaining, fully-integrated and accurate look at some of the causes and some of the major solutions available to combat rising levels of carbon and to help address the threat of global warming", is the word. SimCity Societies marks something of a departure for the series. Not only is it NOT in development at Maxis, city building is now all about dragging and dropping prefab houses, businesses, corrupt police stations and coffee bars onto a map - and your culture or urban persona you create is reflected in the music and detail of your city. It's out November 15.
Per the New York Times Article: With SimCity Societies, the executives said, BP paid Electronic Arts to have its logo included in the game, though they would not disclose the amount.
